  2. Introduction Student Page Student Page Shakespeare’s House [Teacher Page] Title Introduction Task Photo Credit: FLICKR by Elvis_Payne Process- Day 1 Before we begin reading two of Shakespeare’s most famous plays: Romeo & Juliet and Julius Caesar, it is important to understand the contexts from which these plays come from. What was it like when Shakespeare was originally writing his plays? Where did he live? What did he eat for breakfast? How long did it take to write one play? Were the plays famous during his lifetime? What was it like to be in his audience? What did the Queen, the Church, & the government feel about the popularity of the theater? Today you are all actors! So jump into your role within your acting troupes as either Shakespeare, Queen Elizabeth, an average actor, a priest, a commoner, or a noble. You will go on a journey back to the late 1500’s to discover what life was like in Renaissance England & be able to answer these questions and much much more!

An English Exploration of Shakespearean Times (Teacher) [Student Page] Teacher Page A WebQuest for 9th Grade (English) Title Introduction Designed by Learners Brittany Cross briteliz@simla.colostate.edu Standards Process Resources Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion Photo Credit: Flickr by: johopo Credits Based on a template from The WebQuest Page

  17. Introduction (Teacher) [Student Page] Teacher Page This lesson was developed after working with my IB 8th grade English class at Lesher and participating in the projects they are doing in class now and anticipating projects that will help them next year when they will first be introduced to Shakespeare's work. A lot of the activities I planned are specific to a differentiated classroom model and I tried to do an activity that each type of learner would enjoy, learn from, and be challenged by. The goal is for them to have a strong understanding of the English culture and background knowledge that they will apply when reading Shakespeare through the rest of their educational careers. It also gives them the chance to be creative and have fun with a subject that's often dreaded. This webquest is designed to stretch over three or more class periods of 90 min. each. It caters to many standards of research, writing, analyzing, and technology as well as allowing the students to do self-learning and hands-on activities outside of lecture. Not many supplemental materials are necessary beyond the internet, but movie clips and books are recommended based on the time devoted to the lesson.

  18. Learners (Teacher) [Student Page] Teacher Page This is designed for 9th graders simply because it is the year in which they typically are first introduced to Shakespeare’s plays. It can easily become more advanced or toned down to a slower pace by adjusting the length and number of tasks on the process pages. It is structured for students to have very good time management skills and to hone their research, planning, revising, editing, and publishing skills to a more proficient level. Time limits will be pushed in this activity. So assignments can be shortened or taken home. Students will need to have had prior experience with Word, Publisher, and PowerPoint in order to do this in a timely fashion, but mastery of these programs is not necessary. Levels of experience with computers will most likely vary within the group, allowing students to help each other discover things while they work. Also, previous instruction in basic writing skills, grammar, syntax, & paragraph structure is helpful; however, the writing assignments are less standardized in format and cater to a more creative, expressive side.

  19. Curriculum Standards (Teacher) [Student Page] STANDARD 5: Students read to locate, select, and make use of relevant information from a variety of media, reference, and technological sources. • select relevant material for reading, writing, and speaking purposes; • understand the structure, organization, and use of various media, reference, and technological sources as they select information for their reading and writing; • paraphrase, summarize, organize, and synthesize information; • give credit for others' ideas, images, or information; and • use information to produce a quality product. STANDARD 2: Students write and speak for a variety of purposes and audiences. In order to meet this standard, students will: • write and speak for a variety of purposes such as telling stories, presenting analytical responses to literature, conveying technical information, explaining concepts and procedures, and persuading; • write and speak for audiences such as peers, teachers, and the community; • plan, draft, revise, proofread, and edit written communications; • use a variety of devices such as figurative language, symbolism, dialect, and precise vocabulary to convey meaning; • organize written and oral presentations using strategies such as lists, outlining, cause/effect relationships, comparison/contrast, problem/solution, and narration; and • use handwriting and at the most appropriate time, word processing to produce a product that is legible. STANDARD 3:Students write and speak using conventional grammar, usage, sentence structure, punctuation, capitalization, and spelling. In order to meet this standard, students will • know and use correct grammar in speaking and writing; • apply correct usage in speaking and writing; • use correct sentence structure in writing; and • demonstrate correct punctuation, capitalization, and spelling.

  20. The Process (Teacher) [Student Page] Teacher Page This lesson is very much one that students can and should be able to facilitate on their own. Teachers should provide the handout questions printed out for students. Beyond that, the lesson is contained within the technology available. Teachers should facilitate the time management of the students in each activity, (suggested times for each section are on the student’s process slides) help students to stay on the appropriate websites, and keep them on task. The only roles not assigned are those at the beginning of ay 1, teachers can organzie this how they wish. Students may also need help with the powerpoint and publisher programse. It would be helpful for the teacher to have a full example fo a completed Playbook for studnets to reference. The last day (#4) should be the day of powerpoint presentations which can be to rthe whole classa nd gradeed by the teahcer or to smaller groups and graded by the students. Full rubrics are provided and should be gone over in detail with the students before they start the bigger progjects Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion Credits

  22. Resources (Teacher) [Student Page] Teacher Page Resources need to implement this lesson: Students should preferably have access to their own individual computers that have Word, PowerPoint, and Publisher, & plenty of printer paper. Drawing utensils, crayons, markers, etc. are also recommended. Having library books related to the topics that are being researched is a supplement the students can use as well. This activity can be done with only the classroom teacher, but it could help to have computer tech aides or others to help with the programs if necessary.

  23. Evaluation (Teacher) [Student Page] Teacher Page Based on the expectations you have for your class as a whole, the evaluations will vary. Each student should contribute to produce the playbook which should look professional and mimic the model you present at the beginning of the lesson. A huge part of the evaluation is the PowerPoint presentation in which they are not only evaluated on what they have learned, but also how they present that material to their peers. Extensive rubrics are provided to help guide you. They cater to the planning process as well as the final presentation after extensive revision and editing. Refer to the rubrics on the student pages: Journal Newspaper PowerPoint Collaborative Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion Credits

  24. Teacher Script (Teacher) [Student Page] Teacher Page • Before beginning the lesson, go over all the directions for that particular day. These can simply be read off of the process pages and you can add any extra expectations you may have for them. • Before they begin a project, have an example ready to show them and go over the rubric and expectations for full credit. • This web quest requires little “scripting” by the teacher. Just be sure to monitor that all students are on task and following directions. • The entire three days can be spent in the computer lab as long as there is supplemental space for the students to put together their booklets.
